Topic: Metal Overlay on American Art Pottery

This unusual piece was a team effort between J.B. Owens Pottery Company and Clewell Pottery. The latter specialized in creating complete metal overlays on pottery and was known to purchase blanks from other manufacturers to employ his secretive technique, thought to be a form of electroplating. Find or take a photo of a piece of pottery in your collection that features a metal overlay and post it to social media using #ZMAphotohunt.
